Second surgery to refine areola shape post breast lift?

A
AB.77Jul 14, 2023

My breast lift was needed after weight fluctuations, which also caused my aereolas to stretch and get very misshapen and much larger than they were before the weight gain/loss. Post breast lift (full breast lift including incision going around aereola) my aereolas don’t match each other- though obviously better than what I started with, is it common to need a second surgery to revise/refine to get everything as symmetrical as possible? What would that surgery be?

You may be developing a hypertrophic scar. A return visit to your surgeon would be advised to provide a diagnosis and treatment options. It is unlikely that your weight training is contributing to the condition, and it should be safe to continue.

Unfortunately, there is a loss of sensation after almost any breast surgery, even augmentation only. Innervation of the nipple comes from 3-5 separate nerves and their branches, so injury of the major nerve is not very likely cause of the loss of sensation. In the process of breast lift and...
